We do not pay Referral fees for our work

Our fees are based on the following assumptions:

this is a standard transaction and that no unforeseen matters arise including for example (but not limited to) a defect in title which requires remedying prior to completion or the preparation of additional documents ancillary to the main transaction

that the property is registered

the transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise

all parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation

no indemnity policies are required. Additional third party costs may apply if indemnity policies are required.

Third Party Costs

We handle the payment of third party costs on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

How long will my sale take?

How long it will take from your accepting the offer until you can move out/complete the sale will depend on a number of factors such as the management company sending us required information in a timely manner. The average process takes between 10 - 12 weeks.

It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain. For example, if you have a cash buyer with no onward chain, it could take 6 weeks. However, if you are selling a leasehold property that requires an extension of the lease, this can take significantly longer, between 3 and 6 months. In such a situation additional charges would apply.

Stages of the process

The precise stages involved in the sale of a residential property vary according to the circumstances. However, below we have suggested some key stages that you may wish to include:

Take your instructions and give you initial advice

Complete property information forms

Draft contract documents and send to buyer’s solicitor

Obtain information from freeholder/management company

Receive and reply to any enquiries from the buyer’s solicitor

Send final contract to you for signature and transfer deed

Agree completion date (date from which the buyer will own the property)

Exchange contracts and notify you that this has happened

Agree apportionments of ground rent and service charge

Complete sale

Repay any mortgage

Account to you with sale proceeds
